(Bloomberg Opinion) — I was on vacation over the past two weeks, a trip that began with news of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death and ended with President Donald Trump’s hospitalization after testing positive for Covid-19. It was strange, to be sure, though I watched from afar as markets took these momentous political events in stride: The S&P 500 Index moved less than 1% from Sept. 18 through Oct. 2, the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield rose by less than a basis point and investment-grade credit spreads barely budged. In general, politics is usually little more than a sideshow for financial markets …read more […]

On a recent podcast, I was asked, “What are the world’s biggest problems?”
I’m a simple guy, and I could certainly make a big, long list… but then you’d get lost in the size and enormity of the list.
So I said, “Two things: Inertia and a lack of empowerment.”
All Is Not Well
Inertia works two ways, as you know. It says that bodies at rest tend to stay at rest. But the flip side is also true: Bodies in motion tend to stay in motion.
(We don’t think about the latter as often… but if your car brakes fail at a stoplight, you’ll …read more […]

As the world experimented with working from home, U.S. energy firm Phillips 66 Co went the other way: it imposed a “work-from-work” policy for staff at its Houston headquarters in May even as the city became a hot spot for the pandemic. After a brief spike in COVID-19 cases in July, Phillips 66 avoided a major outbreak while remaining nearly fully staffed at its 1.1 million-square-foot Houston campus. The policy also put the company’s white-collar workers on the same footing as refinery staff who were unable to work from home due to the nature of their jobs. …read more […]

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk suggested Tuesday that European countries need to stop subsidizing fuel-based vehicles.What Happened: Musk was reacting to a study by TransPerfect DataForce, commissioned by Transport & Environment, a green group, which indicated that leased cars cost European taxpayers $37.7 billion each year — most of which run on petrol- and diesel-based engines.”So crazy to subsidize pollution,” the billionaire entrepreneur said in a tweet. “This is not good for people, especially in dense cities with heavy traffic, where your air intake is jammed up against another car’s exhaust pipe,”The study urged VAT deductions and write-off …read more […]

How do you pick the next stock to invest in? One way would be to spend days of research browsing through thousands of publicly traded companies. However, an easier way is to look at the stocks that smart money investors are collectively bullish on. Hedge funds and other institutional investors usually invest large amounts of […] …read more […]

(Bloomberg Opinion) — Since Britain voted in 2016 to quit the European Union, there has been a fierce debate about the harm this will do to the City of London. Pessimists warned that losing unfettered access to the single market would force banks to move trillions of dollars in assets out of the world’s leading financial hub. Hundreds of thousands of jobs would go, the Cassandras said. The reality has been more difficult to discern. The finance industry’s move to the continent has been piecemeal, and Brexit preparations have been complicated by the onslaught of the pandemic. Indeed, the management …read more […]

At the end of February we announced the arrival of the first US recession since 2009 and we predicted that the market will decline by at least 20% in (see why hell is coming). We reversed our stance on March 25th after seeing unprecedented fiscal and monetary stimulus unleashed by the Fed and the Congress. […] …read more […]
